Dexter's science class continues to make a huge dent in Medfield College's budget with their experiments. With Dean Higgins' job on the line, he fires Professor Quigley in protest. During the kerfuffle, Dexter's experimental strength serum ends up in Schuyler's vitamin cereal experiment. After eating the cereal the next morning, Dexter discovers the cereal has given him Herculean strength. Upon seeing this, Higgins takes the opportunity to market the cereal in an attempt to get Medfield out of the hole yet again to a cereal company, Crumply Crunch, who decides to test it with their rival, Krinkle Krunch, at a weightlifting contest. Unfortunately, said rival company is in cahoots with recently-released A.J. Arno, who wants to steal the strength serum for themselves.

Dean Higgins is faced with financial problems at Medfield College again, because the Board of Regents is preparing to fire him, due to severe budget costs in the school's science lab. Dean Higgins then discovers that the reason for these financial costs is because Dexter Reilly and the rest of the science students have rented a cow to experiment different vitamin formulas to make the cow fat. Because of this, Dean Higgins fires Professor Quigley (again), but when he leaves in a huff, the force from when he slams the door causes the mixture that Dexter was working on to fall into a bowl of cereal that Schuyler was using as part of his own vitamin formula. When the cow eats some of the cereal, this causes the cow to become strong enough to give over 80 gallons of milk.

The next morning, when it's time for Dexter and the others to get ready for school, Dexter eats some of Schuyler's cereal, which in turn also causes him to become strong enough to tear out doorknobs, bend over lampposts, and destroy the basketball hoop when he makes a slam dunk. When Dexter demonstrates this to Dean Higgins, by lifting up Elmer, an overweight student, in one hand, and Schuyler in the other, Dean Higgins then makes a trip to the Crumply Crunch cereal company where he demonstrates the powers of the strength formula in the cereal to Harriet Crumply, the head of the company. Mrs. Crumply is so impressed by this demonstration that she is willing to challenge the rival Krinkle Krunch cereal company to a weight-lifting competition.

However, it appears that there is a mole for the Krinkle Krunch company, Harry, who later informs the Krinkle Krunch president, Kerwood Krinkle, about this demonstration. Harry then hires Dexter's old foe, A.J. Arno, and his chauffeur Cookie, who have been recently released from jail again in order to steal the formula from the school to put in the Krinkle Krunch cereal. However, when Arno and Cookie come back to the school, they are completely in the dark of where the formula is hidden and which formula it is that they're looking for. Because of this, they are forced to flee when they inadvertently attract the attention of a group of security guards that were guarding the hallways of the school.

The next morning, Harry then has Arno and Cookie kidnap the one responsible for creating the formula, so they kidnap Schuyler while he was out looking for his dog, Brutus, believing Schuyler to be the one who made the strength formula. They then take him to a Chinese restaurant where Ah Fong, a Chinese accomplice of A.J. Arno, uses Chinese torture methods and hypnotism to hypnotize Schuyler into revealing the ingredients of the formula. Once that is over, Schuyler is then told to leave, but when he steals the police chief's police car, he is arrested, but bailed out on the day of the weight-lifting competition.

However, when the two teams eat their cereal, it is then discovered that it is not Schuyler's vitamin formula that provided the super strength at all, but rather, Dexter's strength formula that did it when it got mixed in with Schuyler's cereal. Dexter then rushes back to the college to retrieve his formula, but not without running into A.J. Arno, Cookie, and a few of Arno's flunkies, as well as Harry. Fortunately, thanks to the super strength formula, Dexter is able to make quick work of the baddies. He then pours some of the strength formula into Dean Higgins' car's gas tank, in order to return to the competition in time for the final round.

Medfield is losing badly to State, until Dexter returns and uses the last of the strength formula to give him the strength needed to lift the 1111 lb. weight that has been assigned to him. Dexter is able to lift the weight with ease, which gives victory to Medfield College, Dean Higgins and Professor Quigley keep their jobs, and Crumply Crunch is now the #1 cereal.
